of California are, 
noted for hotels

nishings, admir- 
able service, and 
picturesque sur- 
roundings have a 
world-wide re-

ORONADO AND PASADE.NA 

also Monterey, annually attract thousands of 
tourists. Social life at these resorts is as gay as 
that of fashionable European spas, and yet the tourist 
seeking rest will here find secluded nooks where absolute 
quiet reigns. While each place has its individual attrac- 
tions, all are beautified by gardens of tropical verdure.

ALIFORNIA IN WINTE,K 

is a land of outdoor recreation. 
Here are tennis courts, bicycle 
paths and golf links. During 
January, February and March, 
1 90 1, exhibition games will be 
played at principal California 
resorts by the noted United States 
golf champions, David Bell and 
Willie Smith. 



SAILING AND FISHING 
are kindred pastimes 
of the sea. Shooting, 
kodaking and picnicking 
pertain to the high hills. 
Flowers bloom every- 
where in plenteous riot of 
color. The genial sunshine 
tempts the most indolent 
to mild exertion in the 
open air. The ideal coun- 
try for pleasure- seekers.
